Jan, that looks like a pretty trick setup you have there. I like it!

Just remember, some of the lighter carpet tiles intended for a patio may be the better choice as they are lighter, and won't be as difficult to stay in place long term. Best of luck!

Well, unlike the floor that gets traveled on frequently, the walls really shouldn't collect dirt in the same manner, and should really need vacuumed. At least no where near what the floor would require. I did carpet all the way to the floor without baseboards. Even though you painted the walls...

As far as the Audyssey goes, I didn't mean to bash it as much as I might have. I think it was a good system. It got things close to where they needed to be with very minimal effort. The distances and volume levels of the speakers that I adjusted, were minimal at most. The biggest sound...

] When I originally thought of putting carpet on the walls and ceiling, I asked for a quote from our carpet installer for our home. They said they had never done anything like that before, and wanted $2500 just for installation in the room. They had planned on using a glue, and made very clear...

I did run the Audyssey setup. Then a friend came over and we checked all the settings and made adjustments. I am glad we checked it as you are correct, there were wrong crossovers, distances and volumes. There was a noticeable difference in sound quality after the changes were made. Now...

First off, thanks for the compliment. Very nice choice for your setup. It sounds like you had similar plans as I did. Its really nice to have both the sound reasoning, and the light absorption and all you see hear and feel is the movie, TV show, or game. My screen is a high definition grey...

Finally done! Just plugged everything in the other day. WOW! I must say I am very impressed with the performance of this 7.1 combo. I had high expectations, and this passed them! The bass, the clarity, it is really phenomenal. I am sure there are even better combo's out there, but for the...

Just finished and tested everything out a few days ago. I went with more of a functional room. Meaning, I didn't want the room to "look" like it was beautiful, but instead wanted to focus on picture and sound quality and performance. The walls and ceilings were covered in 1/2 inch...

I am very close to finally getting my movie room with my 7.1 system up! Just finished buying the last of the stereo equipment the other day. Here's the setup; Front speakers: Paradigm Mini Moniter V.7 Center speaker: Paradigm Center 3 Rear and side speakers: Polk Audio OWM 3 Sub Woofer: BIC...

I am doing the finishing touches on my room now. I am hoping to have it complete in the next week. I hit a little snag when I realized the furniture I ordered would not fit through the door to the room and the narrow walkway. I ended up having to take down a wall to make a way to get the...

The Mini Monitor V.7 seems to sound much more clear and has a better mid range than the 9's. I listened to both at the stereo shop I will be buying them from and preferred the sound quality of the 7 over the 9. They did not have the 11's to also compare, but I know the 11's are a bit more...

I am planning on running Paradigm Mini Monitor V.7 for the left and right fronts. I was hoping that the Marantz would power everything and do a sufficient job.

Thanks Jason. What are the other outputs in the Pre Out section labeled "FL" and "FR" for? I would guess a front right and left, but not really sure for what as those speakers are already accounted for.

I think it might be the black colored one labeled "SW" on the "Pre Out" section, but just wanted verification before I bought the reciever.

So with the end of my construction on my theatre room almost complete, I am almost ready to buy the rest of my audio components, and as I was looking over things, I have stumbled onto what hopefully will be an easy question. I have a BIC America Subwoofer, and will be using a coaxial audio...

So I thought it would be a good idea to start this thread for those that have finished their home theater rooms to both show off what they have, and help others to see different finished projects for ideas. Post up whatcha got!

Looking at the Energy Connoisseur Loudspeaker C-C1 Center channel speaker, and the Paradigm Center 3. Which would be the better of the two? FWIW, I am set on getting the Mini Monitor speakers for the front two speakers and would all be for a 7.1 system.

I'll check it out. Thanks

How do I adjust the screen size? Instructions don't seem to say.

...just ordered the BIC F12

Jason, thanks for the info. Good to know some more of the technical data behind "why".

Thanks Robert. I'll order one. I have already been getting all my HDMI cable through Monoprice. Great company with super prices.

That's very impressive looking! I am in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I have one additional newb question on that BIC sub; I had planned on running it from my receiver via speaker wire. Someone mentioned to me today that I. May require a co-ax cable instead. Do you know which one?

Now I see the links. WOW... I wish I could hear that model in person! That looks quite impressive. ...or better yet, I wish I were good enough friends you'd give me that build of yours to help empty some clutter :D I bet it takes a powerfull reciever to hear its potential.

Robert, thanks for your help. You've made up my mind, and I'll be going with the BIC.

Heres a link to the sub I was talking about> http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000M59GQ2 How does this sub compare to the BIC you originally posted?

I am new here, so I am still learning. No worries on the selling your own stuff. I just didn't know with the classifieds section being here if your own built subs fit into that category. I wouldn't expect a total stranger to build and "give" me a sub, no more than you would be willing to just...

I guess my goals was to have a good sub to deliver the bass to the existing system I had laid out, all for at my $300 or less price range. Unfortunately niether one of your links seemed to work for me :( You had mentioned that you have put subs together before, or were a DIY guy. I would...

Like I said I read some, and some mentioned not hitting lows. After looking at more, others mentioned it does. That's why I said "mixed" reviews. Most of all said it was a good quality sub. I guess I was looking for that warm fuzzy from one of you telling me it would indeed have plenty of...
